This method of tying my thread on a needle has changed my hand sewing forever. so easy. so quick.I will run through a quick set of written instructions, and then I've made a little video demonstration. The demonstration is much easier to understand than the written instructions, FYI. Although apparently I was whispering into the camera, so you may have to turn the sound up.

1. Thread your needle2. Pull the thread through so that one side is much longer than the other3. Hold the needle between your left thumb and forefinger4. Place the end of the longer thread side in that thumb and forefinger along with the needle5. Use your right hand to wrap the long thread around the needle a few times (the more you wrap it the larger the knot at the end)6. Add the wrapped thread to the left thumb and forefinger (still holding the needle and the end of the thread as well)7. Use your right hand to pull the needle carefully through the wrapped thread (that you are still holding onto the entire time)8. Keep pulling until you get to the end of your thread, and you have a knot!9. Cut off any extra thread tail you might have on the knot.10. Start sewing!
